Partnerships

NPA partners with many other conservation organisations to protect nature across NSW and Australia.

Environmental Liaison Office

The Environment Liaison Office (ELO) provides a link to NSW Parliament for hundreds of community groups across NSW. It aims to ensure that the shared concerns and priorities of environment groups are communicated consistently to Government, and provides a mechanism for the views of Government to be communicated to and considered by NSW environment groups. NPA is one of a number of core organisations that participate in regular ELO meetings and joint projects.

Stand Up For Nature Alliance

Stand Up For Nature is an alliance of conservation groups dedicated to improving protection for nature in NSW. The alliance formed in response to the Baird government watering down protection for nature in NSW by removing checks on land clearing. Member groups include:

We are committed to protecting nature in NSW and are actively encouraging the NSW government to do what is necessary to stop wildlife extinctions and loss of our bushland.

The network has beenadvocating on behalf of native fish, water birds, wetlands, Aboriginal cultural values and downstream communities in the Basin for a fairer share of water and a return to the natural variability of our inland river systems for more than 25 years.

With the Murray-Darling Basin Plan at the critical implementation stage, its essential we ensure the water given back to the rivers to restores the health and natural beauty of our rivers, redgum forests and wetlands.

Places You Love Alliance

Nature needs our help. For all of us that appreciate the natural world, who understand that a healthy natural environment is essential for a healthy society, we need to unite around a shared vision of an Australia that looks after nature effectively. We have a lot of work to do to reconnect, to listen and discuss and to agree on a vision that unites all Australians, including government and business.

Help NPA stand up for nature

Nature needs our help more than ever.The fires of 2019/2020 have left a permanent imprint on many of our natural landscapes and pushed once safe species towards extinction. Against this backdrop, climate change, destructive development, logging and loss of marine conservation are posing increased threats to nature.

Your support will help NPA retain and build the resources we need to face the challenges ahead with hope. And it will enable us to participate in a process that influences crucial policies and decisions that will have a permanent impact on our national parks and natural landscapes.
